As we move closer to March (and a fresh wave of new releases), now’s the perfect time to catch up on what’s recently landed. If Prime Video’s charts are anything to go by, viewers are gravitating toward darker, twistier thrillers right now, with one compelling documentary breaking through the ranks. That momentum is only set to continue with the release of the first four episodes of “Cross” season 2, now streaming.

Of course, “Fallout” would easily earn a place on this list, especially with its season 2 finale now available to watch, but it’s been holding firm at No. 1 for weeks. Instead, we’re shining a light on the other shows steadily climbing Prime Video’s top 10 that deserve just as much attention. To make things easier, we’ve combed through the current top 10 and picked out the standout titles that are genuinely worth adding to your watchlist.

Best shows in the Prime Video top 10

‘Cross’

One series holding strong in Prime Video’s top 10 is “Cross,” and with the first four episodes of season 2 now streaming, it’s the ideal time to dive back in. The new season did manage to grab the No. 1 spot, though “Fallout” didn’t stay down for long and has since reclaimed its dominance at the top of the chart. My colleague Malcolm McMillan described the latest installment as “even more twisty and brutal than ever.” It seems like showrunner Ben Watkins has crafted another tense, compelling crime thriller, this time broadening the focus to give the supporting players more room to shine.

Season 1 follows Washington, D.C. detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) as he investigates a series of murders linked to a manipulative serial killer called the “Fanboy.” Racing against time, Cross and his partner uncover dangerous secrets as they strive to protect his family and bring the perpetrator to justice. In season 2, he investigates violent threats and killings linked to a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaires. With help from FBI agent Kayla Craig (Alona Tal) and longtime partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), he pursues ever-twisting leads and clues across the city.

‘Lynley’

If you enjoy crime dramas that focus on a different investigation in each installment, then you’ll enjoy “Lynley,” a four-episode series that adapts Elizabeth George’s bestselling novels for TV. Penned by Steve Thompson and largely helmed by Ed Bazalgette, this series (which originally aired on BritBox) is grounded and unvarnished in its storytelling, yet still carries an unexpectedly warm and intimate tone throughout. The dynamic of two mismatched detectives working cases together is a well-established formula, but “Lynley” builds on that familiar structure and lifts it to another level.

“Lynley” centers on Detective Inspector Tommy Lynley (Leo Suter), an Oxford‑educated police officer whose privileged background sets him apart within his department. He’s partnered with Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sofia Barclay), a sharp‑witted, unconventional cop from a very different life experience. Assigned to the fictitious Three Counties police force, the two must work through various cases across multiple episodes, each presenting new puzzles, suspects and investigations to untangle.

‘Soul Power’

Watch On

“Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association” is a four‑part documentary series that chronicles the rise and fall of the American Basketball Association (ABA) from its 1967 launch through its 1976 merger with the NBA. It brings together interviews with legendary players, broadcasters and historians to provide firsthand perspectives on the league’s key figures and moments. This is a worthy doc for basketball enthusiasts, offering a deep dive into the league that transformed the game.

Much of what defines today’s NBA traces back to the ABA, making the series both an informative chronicle and a celebration of the league’s lasting influence. Directed by Kenan Kamwana Holley and featuring voices including Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Bob Costas and other prominent contributors, it presents archival game footage alongside reflective commentary from those who experienced the league’s evolution firsthand. It also traces how the ABA’s innovations (like the three‑point shot and slam dunk contest) left a lasting imprint on professional basketball.
